Their outlays for refrigerators, refrigera-tors, home freezers, automo biles, dishwashers, air conditioners, condi-tioners, stereoplionc equipment and the like, have climbed steadily stead-ily since 1960. It has been made possible by the growing affluence of the average av-erage local family.

Last year, the United Nations through its family of organizations: organiza-tions: Vaccinated 19 million children child-ren against tuberculosis; Protected 52 million children child-ren against malaria; Served 90 countries with 1,300 technical experts in the field of food and agriculture; Supported feeding programs In 55 countries; Developed literacy programs pro-grams in 48 more countries; Financed and assisted research re-search projects in building housing, planning, disease control, harbor expansion, weather observation, food production, atomic radiation narcotics control, civil aviation avia-tion and many more.

And they are part of the job of the international organization which are aimed directly at the heart of its long term purpose, peace. It Is axiomatic that a hungry person Is an angry person; that an Illiterate boy will become a disadvantaged man who can't , compete; and conversely that ; Stable, satisfied populations do sot start aggressive wars or revolutions. And so the basic International programs of the UN concentrate on the building of strong economic econo-mic and social foundations for nations and the development of human resource that is their prerequisite. The United Nations deals with people, the hungry, the sick, the illiterate, the untrained, and gives them a chance to help create a better life for themselves themsel-ves and their families. It helps the worker, the businessman, the scientist and technician too. It aids nations large and small make the most of what they have. Such is the interdependence of living in our world today that everyone at some phase of his life is affected by the programs of international cooperation of the United Nations. Who needs the UN? We all do. iod from I960 to 19C7 is based upon special sample surveys made by the Department of Commerce. Com-merce. In Utah County, on the strength of these findings, no less than 38.5 percent of the local families fami-lies are owners of two or more cars at the present time. This is an increase over I960, when it was 33.2 percent. in other parts of the United States, some 24.5 percent are two car owners and, in the Mountain Moun-tain States, 2G.3 percent. Similarly, more homes are equipped with washing machines than was the case in 1960. Ownership Own-ership in the local area is now listed at 81.6 percent. Actually, a larger proportion of homes have washing machines than is indicated by these own' ership figures, since many rental units are equipped with them The same is true for air con ditioners. In more and more rental units they are provided as standard equipment. Clothes dryers have also come into more general use in the area. The figures show a rise of 43 percent since 1960. As for television sets, there has been a marked increase in number In the period covered by the survey.

These and other high-priced pieces of equipment, which help make life easier or add to the enjoyment of living, have been coming within reach of a growing grow-ing number of local families.
